!!!8217; appearing instead of '

Anybody else seeing this code in other peoples posts ?
It appears to be some sort of HTML error - I only get it on this site !
Or is it just me ?

example from today --

I!!!8217;m so glad you posted this. I used to enter Vouchercloud competitions all the time and didn!!!8217;t think that they were legitimate!

    It's not just '. I posted a comp and pretty much every non-alphabetical character was replaced with code.

    I have stopped using contractions that require apostrophes and I now use italics instead of quotation marks.
